History Characters / TokyoGhoul

* NeverFoundTheBody: Invoked. [[spoiler: The report of his death is questioned, because no one actually saw a body. In a following scene, it is revealed that many of those declared dead are actually missing, with Aogiri Tree preparing to begin new experiments using Investigators]].

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Noro bites his arm clean off, and takes part of his torso with it]].
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He frequently talked about wanting to get out in the field. He finally gets his wish, [[spoiler: and ends up being killed by Noro]].

* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler: He's reported among the dead at the conclusion of the attack on Anteiku, having been killed while trying to protect a wounded Amon from Aogiri]].

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Averted. His subordinates criticize his tendency to spare Ghouls and arrest rather than kill them outright.

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: He says this to a hallucination of his mother, she died and left him an orphan.

[[folder:Akihiro Kanou]]
[[quoteright:236:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doctor_9512.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenjiNomura

The doctor who performed the operation that transformed Kaneki into an One-Eyed Ghoul. While initially he seems innocent, in truth he has his own plan and has strong ties to Aogiri Tree. Though he left them in the past, when located by them he chooses to side with them to continue his research.

* AboveGoodAndEvil: He views himself this way, at least. He knows his research will be viewed by others as evil, but believes his work transcends normal standards of judgement.
* BadSamaritan: During Kaneki's operation, we see that he is dedicated to saving the other's life despite not knowing him. He even breaks hospital policy and operates without notifying Kaneki's family. Later, we see that he treats Kaneki kindly and seems worried about his overall well being. [[spoiler:This is because he wanted to use the other to create a one eyed ghoul. He was also involved in the accident that incapacitated Rize so that he could use her organs in his experiments. Since he also considers Kaneki his "ultimate creation", he wanted to check his development and gain his trust.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:He presents himself as a kindly doctor when in reality he's running illegal experiments on humans and doesn't even seem to care about how his actions hurt others.]]
* EvilPlan: [[spoiler:Kaneki's transformation into a ghoul was no accident nor was he the doctor's first or even last attempt to create one eyed ghouls.]]
* LightIsNotGood: He wears a white lab coat for the entirety of the series so far.
* MadDoctor: [[spoiler: He said he gave Kaneki a kidney transplant but in reality he transplanted Rize's kakuhou into him. It seems that he is purposefully turning humans into ghouls.]]
* ManInWhite: He wears a white lab coat in all his appearances since he's a doctor and has a very kindhearted face and demeanor. In contrast, many of the other characters wear dark clothes and scary masks.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He saves Kaneki's life but unintentionally causes Kaneki's body to undergo a physically and mentally taxing transformation that removes any chance of continuing a normal life. [[spoiler: As more information is learned about ghouls, the more Kaneki and the audience learn how impossible it is to do this surgery by mistake.]]
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:He offers Kaneki a chance to become a part of his plans and seems impressed with how far Kaneki has come considering how most of the people he experimented on became nothing more than mindless monsters.]]
* WorstAid: Putting the organs of a victim that was pulverized by steel beams into a patient in critical condition is an extremely high risk procedure and in a normal operation would more likely kill the victim as opposed to save them. [[spoiler: Although he already knows Rize is a ghoul and that her regenerative abilities would likely save Kaneki's life, regardless of his reckless procedures.]]

Twin sisters that, like Kaneki, became One-Eyed Ghouls. They are Dr. Kanou's bodyguards and their past may contain hints about a larger conspiracy at play.

* BodyguardBabes: They initially act as this to Madam, while at the Ghoul Restaurant. In truth, they are Dr. Kanou's bodyguards.
* CombatTentacles: Notably similar to Kaneki's kagune, which makes him suspicious.
* CreepyTwins: They're quite eerie, indeed.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: They were the children of a wealthy father, and lived happily in a mansion. One day, a Ghoul came and murdered their parents in front of them. They were taken in and trained by [=CCG=] prior to becoming Dr. Kanou's test subjects. It is suggested their parents may have been murdered as part of a larger conspiracy]].
* DiseaseBleach: Shiro once had dark hair like her sister, prior to the surgery to make a One-Eyed Ghoul.
* EmotionlessGirl: They initially behave as such, repressing their emotions.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Like Kaneki, they are humans implanted with tissues from Rize Kamishiro.
* MeaningfulName: 'Kuro' means black, and 'Shiro' means white.
* ScifiBobHaircut: Test subjects working for a MadScientist, sporting modified bobs.
* SingleMindedTwins: They don't show much individuality, possibly due to their unemotional nature.
* TranshumanTreachery: [[spoiler: Originally among the children raised by the [=CCG=] as future Investigators. However, they became involved with Dr. Kanou's experiments and abandoned their humanity]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Their fate remains unclear after the battle at Dr. Kanou's laboratory. The last time we saw them, Nashiro had been seriously wounded and Kurona had refused to abandon her. It isn't known whether Nashiro survived, or what happened to Kurona afterwards]].

* ChekhovsGun: Mentioned throughout the series, with their members appearing among the various factions of Ghouls. They were the reason Yamori was imprisoned and interrogated for information, Nico is the one to provide Kaneki with clues about the connection between Madam A and Dr. Kanou, and [[spoiler: Souta dropped the steel bars on Rize.

->'''Voiced by''': Chinatsu Akasaki

She is Touka's best friend at school.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Touka.

[[folder:Chie Hori]]
[[quoteright:199:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chiehoristalkinghouls_8440.jpg]]

A young woman obsessed with photography and finding interesting "scoops". She attended the same High School as Tsukiyama, and befriended him after uncovering his secret. Years later, she helps Kaneki's group by obtaining information for them.

She returns in ''Tokyo Ghoul:re'', in a greatly expanded role.

* AffectionateNickname: Tsukiyama calls her "Little Mouse", aptly enough.
* AnimalMotifs: Tsukiyama compares her to various rodents in appearance (Hamsters) and behavior (Rats), until he finally settles on her nickname.
* AscendedExtra: She's a minor character from the side novels, with only a single mention in the original series. However, her role seems to be greatly expanded in the sequel.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Her friendship with Tsukiyama seems to be based on both of them being ''completely nuts'', with their own unique worldviews and obsession with the ultimate experience of their chosen interest.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: She doesn't seem to have any consideration for normal morality, but has her own unique ideals and morality.
* CameraFiend: She's always taking pictures, whether doing so endangers her life or not.
* CloudCuckooLander: She was famous at school for being "odd", always climbing trees and taking pictures of random things.

* GenreSavvy: Before going to meet with Tsukiyama, she arranges for a blog post revealing his true identity to go public if she fails to return home in time to cancel the post.
* ItAmusedMe: As long as it's interesting, she doesn't seem to care about what happens to other people.
* MuggleBestFriend[=/=]HumanPet: To Tsukiyama, who comes to the conclusion that she's a very amusing pet.
* NervesOfSteel: She is utterly unshaken by Tsukiyama's multiple threatening acts, including holding her out an 8th story window. He's duly impressed.
* OlderThanHeLooks: She's described as looking like a 12-year old, but actually around the same age as Tsukiyama.
* PlayfulHacker: Implied. Itori states the list of escaped inmates could only be obtained by hacking CCG's database.

* TooDumbToLive: Stalking and photographing a Ghoul when they can easily spot you? Not the brightest idea.

[[folder: Aogiri Tree]]

An organization of Ghouls, that has taken over the 11th Ward. Their leader is a legendary Ghoul known as the One-Eyed King, surrounded by rumors and myths. They are the primary antagonists of the story, targeting both Kaneki and the Ghoul Investigators.

* AntiHumanAlliance: CCG takes note of them as the largest and most organized group of Ghouls ever known, united by their hatred for humans.

!!Taishi Fura
[[quoteright:191:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/taishifurateen_287.png]]
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/taishifuraadult_9955.png]]

The protagonist of the side story Tokyo Ghoul: Jack, along with Arima. He is a reckless and wild teenager, and becomes involved in hunting down the Ghoul "Lantern" after it kills his friends. As an adult, he is a Rank 1 Investigator and married his sweetheart from high school.

* AttackAttackAttack: As a high schooler, he doesn't have any of Arima's fighting abilities or experience so his mode of attack is to take something blunt and bash some ghouls.
* ActionDuo: He survives a ghoul encounter twice and ends up becoming Arima's ghoul hunting partner in high school.
* ActionSurvivor: He starts out as an average high school student until he sees his two childhood friends get attacked by a ghoul (one even dies). He gets rescued by Arima and ends up teaming up with him to hunt down ghouls. Despite having much less experience than Arima, he ends up getting better at ghoul hunting and later joins the CCG.
* BookDumb: He was not an especially motivated student and had a hard time studying. It was also noted that he skipped class a lot.
* DelinquentHair: Tokyo Ghoul: Jack shows his hair as being orange colored but in Tokyo Ghoul we see that his hair is black. It seems he probably had dyed hair as a teen, which goes with his somewhat delinquent personality.
* FormerTeenRebel: In ''Jack'', he is a hot-blooded delinquent. As an adult, however, he's a straight-laced Investigator.
* HappilyMarried: In the present time, he seems to be happily married to Aki and has a family with her.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He's a background character in the main series, but the protagonist alongside Arima in the side story, ''Jack''.
* {{Hotblooded}}: It's what got him into trouble with teachers all the time.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When introduced in Tokyo Ghoul: Jack he seems like a lazy student with a bad attitude. He also immediately gets off on the wrong foot with Arima. However, he honestly cares a lot about his childhood friends and can be a good guy when he wants to be.
* LeeroyJenkins: His hotblooded nature means that he doesn't always think things through.
* OddFriendship: With Arima of all people. They were classmates in high school and ended up bonding over ghoul hunting despite having clashing personalities.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: He was this at first in Tokyo Ghoul: Jack, albeit kind of a slacker and not that great of a student. His normal life gets disrupted once his childhood friends get attacked by a ghoul and he meets Arima.
* SympathyForTheDevil: He expresses sympathy for Lantern -- and all Ghouls, really -- because they can never be human, no matter what they do or how hard they struggle.

!!Haise Sasaki
[[quoteright:145:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haisesasakitokyoghoulre_7299.png]]

A 22-year old Rank 1 Ghoul Investigator and protege of Arima Kishou. He is the leader of Quinix, and like his subordinates, is an artificial Ghoul-Human Hybrid. His kind personality causes him difficulty in reigning in his team, and his reputation among his fellow Investigators is poor as a result.

* TheAce: Akira refers to him as "The Ace of the Mado group".
* {{Adorkable}}: He can be adorably awkward on occasion.
** When his superior tells him to aim for the sky, he asks for a goodbye hug to conclude his HurricaneOfPuns.

* BlackSheep: He's looked down on by his peers in CCG, to the point of being humiliated in front of a subordinate.
* ByTheBookCop: When his subordinates ignore protocol, he attempts to quote Article 13 at them. They immediately brush him off.
* ContinuityNod: He first met Akira in a graveyard, while she was visiting a grave and discussing her new partner. This is the same way that Akira and Amon once met.

* ProHumanTranshuman: Devoted to protecting humans from Ghouls, using the abilities resulting from his hybrid status.
* RealMenCanCook: He enjoys cooking for his team, even though he's unable to enjoy it with them.
* SequelHook: A disjointed "ha i se ..." appeared in final CCG scene in the last chapter of the original ''Tokyo Ghoul'', hinting at his role as CCG's new secret weapon in the sequel.
* ShroudedInMyth: When he first became an Investigator, there were already rumors about him being "[[HalfHumanHybrid different]]" from other Investigators. Akira knew of him even before meeting him for the first time. However, since then he's pretty much become the guy his coworkers look down on.
* SkilledButNaive: He's a highly-skilled Investigator, but criticized by his peers as extremely naive. Akira even warns him that this will be his downfall.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He wears glasses while reading, and has numerous bookcases in his room.
* SuperiorSuccessor: CCG has assigned him with the task of creating an Investigator that can surpass Arima.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He has many similarities to the previous series' protagonist Ken Kaneki in terms of appearance, personality, and hobbies.
* TarotMotifs: VIII. ''Strength''.
* TeamDad: He's desperately attempting to be this to his team.
** TeamMom: What he actually is, taking care of his team both professionally and at home.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Averted. His subordinates criticize his tendency to spare Ghouls and arrest rather than kill them outright.
